Learn how to be the new $ 200 and $ 500 Argentines


The image of the legendary Eva Peron and the silhouette of the Falkland Islands will be exchanged for native animals in danger of extinction.
Argentina issued new banknotes in the image will change with the profile of the legendary Eva Peron and the silhouette of the Falkland Islands by other native animals in danger of extinction, it said in a statement on Friday the Central Bank of Argentina.
These two bills were initiatives of former President Cristina Kirchner (2007-2015), before Mauricio Macri took on 10 December. Both they received international awards for design and safety guidelines and were put into circulation in 2012 and 2015, respectively, under the series of banknotes "we have homeland." The new notes will have on its obverse depictions of different animals fauna in "pursuit of a meeting in which all Argentines can feel represented in the national currency," said the statement. Since mid-year Argentina will also have tickets 200, 500 and 1,000 pesos, while today the 100 bill is the largest denomination. "The new bills will coexist for a while with current circulating," the Central Bank. Also new series of 20, 50 and 100 will be in circulation at the beginning of 2017 will be issued. Currently the highest denomination is the 100 pesos and takes on its obverse the profile of Eva Duarte, second wife of three-time president Juan Peron of Argentina (1946/52, 1952/55 and 1973/74) and mythical figure Peronism. The new 100 peso Macri will have on its obverse the image of the Andean deer or Andean deer, an animal in danger of extinction. The current 50 pesos bill will have on its obverse the image of the Andean condor silhouette instead of the Falkland Islands, whose sovereignty is in dispute with the United Kingdom.
